RE: New ESC.
Hi I have experienced some problems with ESC's lately. Don't underestimate potential problems of some motor-ESC combination simply don't work. My Himax has killed a Kontronik Jive HV80 regulator. BURNED! But I got a replacement which I use for my Plettenberg 30-10 EVO. Works flawlessly, and I wouldn't replace the combo for anything. The Kontronik is lilght weight, has a redundant rx battery option, has a 15A BEC. CC ICE2 HV80 is a very good ESC, but is useless if you are running Himax and need more than 30% brake (with current last software 4.01beta) The motor will squeek louder that a Rossi 60 without a silencer! The SPIN99 is reccomended by all owners, so is the Futaba/OS. brg Øystein Bach Norway

RE: New pattern ship recomendation
Thanks for the reply! This means that the CC 80HV regulator is a bargain as long as you get enough brake of the 30% as recommended from Himax manual. If you need more brake, buy another ESC... :-( I will post CC an email about this and hope for a firmware fix in the future. The CC ESC is a very good ESC by all other means. Abouth the Vanquish 2x2. I bought this earlier this year. After 2 minutes flight I understood that "this is going to be my A-model this year!" A number one reccomendation from me! brg Øystein Bach Norway

RE: New pattern ship recomendation
Hi, I am flying an Integral with the Himax 6330-200 motor and the Castle ICE2 80HV regulator. The Integral is a little heavy (5,2 kg) so I need as much brake as possible for the downline manoeuvre. Setup is: 20C batteries from Zippy. The blue ones. 6330-200 with a 20,5x14 APCe prop ICE2 80 HV ESC, latest beta SW I have used the manual from Himaxx for the recommended setting, but changed the brake settings to 50-60% I get squeeks from the motor - that tells me that timeing are not correct - when I add power after a dive manouvre (the Z or a reverse top hat) Can you reccomend a setting on the ESC that most probably should work? What settings do you use for the -210 motor? Looking forward to a quick reply! brg Øystein Bach Norway [quote]ORIGINAL: rix I also use the Castle HV80 V2... [/quote]
